T'ien Ch'i Gunpowder Theme idea

Excellent research and ideas Mr Sims. It seems like a very interesting mod for T'ien Ch'i. One that will be very unusual to play with.

These guys will be very "fire then melee" types with the low ammo but high damage. Makes them very versatile compared to the "fire or melee" as is the case now. I like your interpretation of many-bolts-as-one since this makes the Cho-Ko-Nu units a lot less of a threat compared to multiple attacks each turn.

Might I suggest giving this faction a forced drain and order scale to reflect its focus on research and discipline rather then magic?

Thanks. For the scales, I was thinking forced Drain 2 and Misfortune 1 (the latter because of the bad luck created by turning their back on their traditions). I could see this theme using Order or Turmoil (technological change = turmoil, discipline = order).
